B: What’s the matter? Would you — [B follows Peggy’s gaze] Did you see Charlie?

B: What are you going to do with it, sweetie?… Oh, you’re going to drop it? Good catch….Too hard to find? [returns rattle to Peggy’s reach]
P: [Peggy’s hands are clasped together; she struggles to separate them].
B: Well, here….Can you make it? I’ll put it right here on your belly. [B: pats her belly with the rattle.] Can you see here on your belly?… No? Do you want it out here? [Raises the rattle into her visual field] Or did it just get in your way?
B: Oh, right in your mouth. Oh, that’s your finger you put in your mouth, sweetie. It’s hard to get a rattle in your mouth, hand in your mouth and you got it full of a rattle.
B: (Aside to camera.) That’s what she’s trying to do now. Can you…
B: Peggy? Well, I guess she doesn’t want to do it on this side….Almost turning over.
P: NVV [noises of frustration]
Episode G: [00:05:26.04] B: What’s the matter, sweetie?… Hey, I’ve got an idea. Let’s trade. [calling] Peggy, Peggy.
Let me have this and you can have this one. [Bob tries to substitute a rubber jack-shaped teething ring for the rattle]
P: [retains rattle, takes it to her mouth] You want to try that?…No?… Okay.
B: (Aside to camera) I think she’s trying to get the lady bug, one of the lady bugs in her mouth.
P: NVV [cries of frustration]
B: Okay, come on now. Hold it, hold it, hold it. There’s no reason to cry, sweetie…. Too hard? Well, here. Let’s try this. [Bob puts rubber jack within her reach] No?
P: [reaches for one leg of the jack]
B: Oh, that’s a good one. Got lots of different things. … Yeah. Then your hand gets in the way. Oh, good grab….Almost…. There you go. You got it. All right, just hold on a little.
P: NVV [Peggy’s cries of frustration building]
Episode H: [00:06:32.24] B: Sweetie, look…. How about I put it right there? No, that won’t do. Well, I guess you-Well, hold on.
B: [rolls on his back, lays Peggy on his stomach] Oh, my dear.
P: NVV [her cries slow, then stop and she seems to notice the embroidery on his shirt]
B: Is that better? Is that better?…You can drool all over my shirt this way. No, that’s no good either.
B: [tries to jollify Peggy with bouncing; she is inconsolable and looks to Mom behind the camera] Bump, bump, bump, bump.
Mom: [calling her name for attention] Peggy, Peggy. Peggy, would you like some bananas?
Would you like some cereal?
B: Let’s stop here.
